The visitors went TO bat and scored
five runs. The Maroons followed with
four, which left our club with but one
ahead. In the next inning our boys
made three tallies, giving them n total of
eight; the Maroons followed with one,
and at the end OF the second inning the
score stood eight 60 five in favor Of our
boys. IL was evident from the start that
the game. was TO be hard one, but the
CTS were bound TO play To win but did
not succeed for reasons hereafter ex-
planned. The close OF the third inning
found our boys two tallies ahead, and
everything looked bright for us Our
boys went 60 bat again and brought in
four ITALICS, followed by a score of one
for the Maroons. At this stage OF the
sgame the Maroons put Frank Stevens in
the box and Browning on first. Stevens
was represented ms a crack pitcher, and
was nicely paid TO help them out, but
his delivery was hardly phenomenal on
this particular occasion, as il was found
considerably easier 90 bat him than
Browning, who was soon reinstated in
his place. The game proceeds and in
the first hall Of the fifth inning we put up
Ave more marks and with two men out
Foley drops a fly into the right field,
which was nicely handled. Then the
Maroons got at il and turned in eight
ITALICS and il was right here that first
noticed that something was not right,
and soon discovered what il was, at amy
rate we were still two ahead at the close
OF the sixth inning we were three ahead,
but | could now plainly see that "things
was working and decidedly disastrous
20 us it would turn out. In the seventh
inning was witnessed the incest playing
during the game. Our boys went Co bat
and only brought in one tally; the
Maroons waltzed in Co swing the world
and got white-washed in tho most APP
proved style. At the finish of the first
half OF the ninth inning we were five
points ahead and il seemed impossible
to be defeated, and indeed we would not
have been had we got square deal, but
be that as il il the Maroons, or rather
! the umpire. made six tallies and we were
defeated, though not out Of existence en-
tirely, the club Is alive yet. IL Is self
evident fact that our club Is stronger
than the Maroon and had we got a
shadow OF a square deal we would have
defeated them. The game was umpircd
by George Warren, who was thought TO
be conscientious and just man, but 1t
turns out To be quite the opposite. Some
of his decisions were rank, vefy rank and
20 him alone do We owe our defeat. l
learn from a very reliable source
that Warren had q bet OF $50 on the
game, which lact may throw some light
ON the thing. II nm umpire bets money
on a game, he is pretty certain Of winning
IL. Mr.. Warren is a very popular young
man and has many warm friends, but
his actions OF Saturday last has not
added materinly 90 his list OF Crystal
Falls friends. We were defeated and
there is no benefit To be derived from
bowling about IL, but then IL affords a
great deal OF satisfaction, because any
one not resident OF Norway viii say az
I do, that we were deirauded out of the
game by preiudiccd umpire. One more
thing would like 10 talk about a few
minutes and then ] will Withdraw.
The Maroons after game played
here in which they were honorably de-
heated, sat upa bowling and waiting
because 81 ill-treatment received here.
<anagcr Clapp did all he could to enter
IN the visitors, gave them rates at
Ihotel and treated them TO a midnight

hiccess Of the home team but did
